I like the coils of the orange peel and the twisting shadows that follow it. It is a good composition it just needs a little improvement to launch it into the excellent category. The first thing is that it is overexposed/blown out in the highlights and you lose a lot of great and wonderful detail in the inner portion of the peal. Next the texture of the paper acting as a background shows up in patches and is blown out in other areas where it is overexposed. The composition is a minimalist piece where the main subject is the twisting orange peel and its shadow. Keep it minimal with nothing else to distract from the main subject. Nothing wrong with going with a solid white backdrop to make you main subject pop visually. Lastly, composing your subject so that the eye has clearly designated lines to follow will improve the visual appeal of the image. By that I mean crop so that the left end of the peal is seated in the bottom left corner. The shadow of the curve of peal at the top should be cradled in the top right corner. This way your main subject then acts as a diagonal line across your composition.
